'''Myna''' is the rank-2 [[temperament]] that tempers out the starling comma ([[126/125]]) and the orwellisma ([[1728/1715]]). It is supported by [[27edo]], [[31edo]] and [[58edo]], with [[MOS scale]]s of cardinality 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27 and 31.

'''Myna''' is a [[rank-2]] [[temperament]] that is [[generator|generated]] by a flattened minor third of [[6/5]], so that seven generators reach [[7/4]], nine reach [[5/4]] and ten reach [[3/2]]. It can be thought of in terms of a series of equidistances between thirds, that is, making [[8/7]] - [[7/6]] - 6/5 - [[49/40]] - [[5/4]] - [[9/7]] - [[21/16]] all equidistant (the distances between which are [[36/35]], [[49/48]], and [[50/49]]), or otherwise tuning the pental thirds outwards so that the chroma between them ([[25/24]]) is twice the size of the interval between the pental and septimal thirds, 36/35. This is one of two major options for how the thirds are organized in [[EDO]]s of medium size - the other one being [[keemic temperaments]], such as [[superkleismic]] and [[magic]], where the gap between 6/5 and 5/4 is compressed to equal that between 7/6 and 6/5 instead of widened to equal twice it. Both have their characteristic sets of damage, but myna leaves space for an exact neutral third in between 6/5 and 5/4; [[11-limit]] myna then arises from equating this neutral third to [[11/9]] and 13-limit myna adds the interpretation of [[16/13]] to it as well.
 
It can be described as the 27e & 31 temperament; [[27edo]] and [[31edo]] represent natural endpoints of its tuning range, and 27+31 = [[58edo]] and 58+31 = [[89edo]] are very good tunings. In terms of [[commas]], the most characteristic comma that myna [[tempering out|tempers out]] is [[126/125]], the starling comma, so that two generators reach [[10/7]] and four reach the distinctive 36/35[[~]]50/49 chroma. Additionally, {{S|6/S7}} = [[1728/1715]], the orwellisma, is tempered out to equate 36/35 with 49/48, and so is [[2401/2400]], the breedsma, to equate 49/48 and 50/49 (and find a neutral third at 49/40). In the 11-limit, [[176/175]], [[243/242]], [[441/440]], and [[540/539]] are tempered out; in the 13-limit, [[144/143]] and [[352/351]] are additionally tempered out.

Myna is a rank-2 temperament that is generated by a flattened minor third of 6/5, so that seven generators reach 7/4, nine reach 5/4 and ten reach 3/2. It can be thought of in terms of a series of equidistances between thirds, that is, making 8/7 - 7/6 - 6/5 - 49/40 - 5/4 - 9/7 - 21/16 all equidistant (the distances between which are 36/35, 49/48, and 50/49), or otherwise tuning the pental thirds outwards so that the chroma between them (25/24) is twice the size of the interval between the pental and septimal thirds, 36/35. This is one of two major options for how the thirds are organized in EDOs of medium size - the other one being keemic temperaments, such as superkleismic and magic, where the gap between 6/5 and 5/4 is compressed to equal that between 7/6 and 6/5 instead of widened to equal twice it. Both have their characteristic sets of damage, but myna leaves space for an exact neutral third in between 6/5 and 5/4; 11-limit myna then arises from equating this neutral third to 11/9 and 13-limit myna adds the interpretation of 16/13 to it as well.

It can be described as the 27e & 31 temperament; 27edo and 31edo represent natural endpoints of its tuning range, and 27+31 = 58edo and 58+31 = 89edo are very good tunings. In terms of commas, the most characteristic comma that myna tempers out is 126/125, the starling comma, so that two generators reach 10/7 and four reach the distinctive 36/35~50/49 chroma. Additionally, S6/S7 = 1728/1715, the orwellisma, is tempered out to equate 36/35 with 49/48, and so is 2401/2400, the breedsma, to equate 49/48 and 50/49 (and find a neutral third at 49/40). In the 11-limit, 176/175, 243/242, 441/440, and 540/539 are tempered out; in the 13-limit, 144/143 and 352/351 are additionally tempered out.

Note: "myna" is pronounced /'maɪnə/, like the bird, but is also as a pun on "minor".
